in testing your washing <strong>machine</strong>.<br />
1.Turn on the tap.<br />
2.Close the appliance door.<br />
3.Pour a small amount of detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent dispenser .<br />
4.Select a short program (see programme chart).<br />
5.Press the “Start/Pause” button.<br />
PRECAUTIONS AND G<strong>EN</strong>ERAL RECOMM<strong>EN</strong>DATIONS<br />
1.Packing<br />
• The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed<br />
by the recycling symbol. Adhere to local<br />
regulations when disposing of packaging material.<br />
2.Energy saving tips<br />
• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent<br />
and time by using the recommended maximum<br />
load size.<br />
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated<br />
in the manufacturer’s instructions.<br />
• The Eco Flap - a special system in the outlet -<br />
will prevent detergent loss from the drum to<br />
avoid detergent loss into the environment.<br />
• Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only!<br />
Save detergent, time, water and energy<br />
consumption by not selecting “Prewash” for<br />
slight to normally soiled laundry.<br />
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried<br />
in stains in water before washing to reduce the<br />
necessity of a hot wash program.<br />
• Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 90° C<br />
wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C<br />
wash programme.<br />
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin<br />
speed to reduce the water content in laundry<br />
before using a tumble dryer (for <strong>machine</strong>s with<br />
adjustable spin speed).<br />
3.Disposing of packaging and old appliances<br />
• The washing <strong>machine</strong> is built from reusable<br />
materials. The washing <strong>machine</strong> must be<br />
disposed of in compliance with local waste<br />
disposal regulations.<br />
• Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that<br />
the washing <strong>machine</strong> cannot be connected to<br />
the mains.<br />
• Remove detergent from compartment if you<br />
intend scrapping your appliance.<br />
4.Child safety<br />

3gb05030.fm5 Page 24 Monday, September 17, 2001 3:33 PM<br />
PREPARATION OF THE WASHING<br />
Sort the laundry<br />
1.Sort the laundry according to…<br />
• Type of fabric / care label symbol<br />
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,<br />
wool, handwashed items.<br />
• Colour<br />
Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new<br />
coloured items separately.<br />
•Size<br />
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to<br />
improve efficiency and distribution in the drum.<br />
• Fabric delicacy<br />
Wash delicate articles separately: use a special<br />
programme for Pure New Wool , curtains and<br />
other delicates. Always remove curtain glides or<br />
wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton<br />
bag. Use the special program for handwash<br />
fabrics. Wash stockings, belts and other small<br />
items or articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special<br />
cotton bags for washing <strong>machine</strong>s or in zipped<br />
pillow cases.<br />
2.Empty pockets<br />
Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage<br />
of your appliance drum and tub.<br />
3.Fasteners<br />
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose<br />
belts or ribbons should be tied together.<br />
DETERG<strong>EN</strong>TS AND ADDITIVES<br />
Stain removal<br />
• Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances<br />
are generally removed by the enzyme phase of<br />
the programme.<br />
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit<br />
stains etc. add a stain removing agent in<br />
detergent dispenser compartment or<br />
chlorine bleach in compartment (depending<br />
on model).<br />
• Particularly stubborn stains should be treated<br />
before the wash.<br />
Dyeing and bleaching<br />
Products usually consist of dye colour, fixing agent<br />
and salt. Pour the dye colour, the fixing agent and<br />
then the salt directly into the empty drum. Load<br />
the laundry only afterwards.<br />
• Only use dyes and bleaches recommended for<br />
washing <strong>machine</strong>s.<br />
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.<br />
• Plastic and rubber parts of the <strong>machine</strong> may be<br />
stained by dyes or bleaches.<br />
Loading the laundry<br />
1.Open the door.<br />
2.Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the<br />
drum. Follow loads recommended in the<br />
programme chart: Overloading will result in<br />
unsatisfactory washing results and creased<br />
laundry.<br />
3.Close the door.<br />
Choice of the right detergent and additives<br />
The type of detergent depends on:<br />
• type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,<br />
delicate items, wool).<br />
Note: use only specific detergents for wool.<br />
• colour;<br />
• washing tem<strong>per</strong>ature;<br />
• degree and type of soiling.<br />
Notes:<br />
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by<br />
insoluble detergents components used in modern<br />
phosphate-free powder detergents. If you notice<br />
this problem, shake or brush the affected items or<br />
use a liquid detergent.<br />
Keep detergents and additives in a dry place and<br />
out of reach of children.<br />
Use only detergents and additives specifically<br />
produced for domestic washing <strong>machine</strong>s.<br />
If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,<br />
make sure they are suitable for washing <strong>machine</strong><br />
use. Descaler could contain components that can<br />
attack parts of your washing <strong>machine</strong>.<br />
Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).<br />
Do not <strong>machine</strong> wash fabrics that have been<br />
treated with solvents or flammable liquids.<br />

3gb05030.fm5 Page 25 Monday, September 17, 2001 3:33 PM<br />
Dosage<br />
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in<br />
relation to:<br />
• the degree and type of soiling;<br />
• the size of the load:<br />
• full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s<br />
instructions;<br />
• half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;<br />
• minimum load (about 1 kg): half the amount<br />
used for a full load;<br />
• water hardness in your area (ask for information<br />
from your water company): soft water requires<br />
less detergent than hard water.<br />
Notes:<br />
Too much detergent can result in excess foam<br />
formation, and the reduction of washing efficiency.<br />
If the appliance detects excessive foam it may<br />
prevent spinning.<br />
Insufficient detergent may result in:<br />
grey laundry, deposits on the drum, tub and heater.<br />
You can use liquid detergent in the “Prewash”<br />
phase for programmes with this option. In this<br />
case put only powder detergents in the<br />
compartment for the main wash .<br />
When using concentrated fabric softeners, add<br />
water in the detergent dispenser up to “MAX” level<br />
mark.<br />
To prevent dispensing problems when using highly<br />
concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use<br />
the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the<br />
detergent and place it inside the drum.<br />

• Can be used together with Cotton and Synthetics programmes to make ironing<br />
easier.<br />
• Increases the water quantity and the clothes are spun very gently.<br />
• Increases the programme time and reduces the tem<strong>per</strong>ature. This reduces energy<br />
consumption by about 30% without compromising the excellent results of the<br />
wash.<br />
• Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand, granular dirt) sensible. The cycle<br />
time increases approximately 15 min.<br />
• Select for quick, economical washes.<br />
• Especially suitable for small, lightly soiled loads.<br />
Note: If “Quick wash” is selected, only the “Rinse Hold” and “Spin speed reduction”<br />
options can be activated.<br />
• More water and a longer time in rinse cycle is added.<br />
• The intensive rinse function is especially suitable for areas with particularly soft<br />
water, for baby clothes and to help people with allergies.<br />
• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without being spun, to avoid heavy creasing.<br />
• Especially suitable for the “Synthetics” or “Delicates” programmes, if the laundry<br />
is not to be unloaded immediately after the end of the programme. This function<br />
is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time or when you<br />
do not wish to spin the clothes.<br />
Note: The programme stops to “Rinse Hold” at the time the “Rinse Hold” light in the<br />
programme flow indication is on.<br />
Continuing wash cycle after rinse hold:<br />
• Press the Rinse hold button again; the load will be spun according to the selected<br />
programme.<br />
• If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the programme selector knob to the<br />
drain programme and press the “Start/Pause” button<br />
• Press this button to reduce the predetermined automatic maximum spin speed. In<br />
some programmes the maximum final spin speed is limited to go easy on your<br />
laundry items. Selection of a higher spin speed is not possible.<br />
• With the "Cotton" and "Synthetics" programmes a short spin cycle is provided in any case,<br />
even if the exclusion has been selected, in order to optimize rinsing results.<br />
• If the spin speed “0” is selected, the final spinning is cancelled. The water is<br />
drained out only.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE<br />
This washing <strong>machine</strong> is equipped with automatic<br />
safety functions which detect and diagnose faults<br />
at an early stage and react appropriately.<br />
Often, however, the faults detected are small<br />
enough to be solved in a matter of minutes.<br />
For example:<br />
The appliance will not start, no lamp lights<br />
up.<br />
Check whether:<br />
• the appliance is plugged in;<br />
• the wall socket is functioning correctly<br />
(use a table lamp or similar);<br />
• a programme is selected correctly.<br />
The appliance will not start, but the<br />
“Start/Pause” lamp is flashing.<br />
Check whether:<br />
• the appliance door is pro<strong>per</strong>ly closed<br />

Detergent and additive product residues in<br />
dispenser at end of wash.<br />
Check whether:<br />
• the siphon is correctly installed and clean<br />
(see “Care and Maintenance”);<br />
• enough water is being supplied. The mesh filters<br />
between the inlet hose and the tap could be<br />
blocked (see “Care and Maintenance”). Check<br />
and clean the filter two or three times a year<br />
(see “Removing the filter”).<br />
The appliance vibrates during the spin cycle.<br />
Check whether:<br />
• the appliance is levelled and solidly installed on<br />
all four feet (see “Installation Instructions”);<br />
• the transit bolts have been removed. The transit<br />
bolts must be removed before the appliance can<br />
be used (see “Installation Instructions”).<br />
Final spin results are poor:<br />
The appliance has an imbalance detection and<br />
correction system. If individual heavy articles are<br />
loaded (bathmat, bathrobe, etc.) this system may<br />
reduce the spin speed automatically to protect the<br />
appliance or even interrupt the spin cycle<br />
altogether, if the imbalance is too great even after<br />
several spin starts.<br />
• If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the<br />
cycle, add smaller articles of laundry to balance<br />
the load and repeat the spin cycle.<br />
• Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.<br />
Ensure correct amount of detergent is used<br />
No water or insufficient water supply:<br />
• the appliance has a safety hose and the safety<br />
valve has opened (red indicator in the safety<br />
valve inspector window).<br />
In this case replace it with a new safety hose.<br />
What should I do when the automatic safety system detects a malfunction?<br />
The programme is interrupted and various indicators (if available) point to the source of the fault.<br />
